Answer the following questions:

1.Who is Eloise?

2.Try to summarize the change of“my”attitude toward the iPhone in a paragraph.

(Sample:First,“I”didn't want a fancy cellphone...)

3.What does the sentence“I was living on iCloud nine as I built my new life with Eloise.”mean?

4.What can you see from the experience that he Google-mapped his way to the mailbox?

5.Between which two paragraphs do you think the sentence“Okay,so I was addicted to my iPhone.”can be inserted?

Keys:

1.The author's iPhone.

2.Then“I”found myself envious of all those proud iPhone owners,and welcomed a new iPhone into the life.Later,“I”instantly fell in love with it,and could no longer imagine a life without it.Soon I became addicted to it and would feel anxious without it accompanying.And“I”hated my addiction to it.But I regained happiness and joy when quitting the addiction.

3.On iCloud nine is equal to the phrase“on the cloud nine”,which means very happy.

4.He became addicted to the iPhone.

5.Para 7 and Para 8.

長句分析:

1.What used to feel like friendly notifications now felt like constant nagging to respond.过去觉得亲切的提醒现在看来像是等待回应的不断念叨。

该句主语为what used to feel like friendly notifications,是一个what引导的名词性从句。谓语动词为felt like,constant nagging是宾语,to respond是宾语的定语。

2.When I turned it on,a wave of familiarity washed over me as it buzzed with two days worth of missed texts and notifications.当我开机时,一阵亲切感扑面而来,两天未接到的短信和提醒使它振个不停。

该句主干为a wave of familiarity washed over me。as此处引导原因状语从句,it指代iPhone,buzz是动词,指手机振动发出的嗡嗡声。missed此处做texts and notifications的定语,意为“没有收到的,错过的”。

On cloud nine:very happy乐不可支

例如:She has been on cloud nine since the magazine printed the story she wrote.

自从那份杂志发表了一篇她写的故事后,她高兴得不得了。endprint
